Shaquille O’Neal, who weighed a whopping 325 pounds during his NBA career, claims he is shorter than his wife believed.
Shaquille O’Neal is possibly the most dominant center the game has ever seen.
The huge bad man was known for his brutality on the pitch.
O’Neal conquered the league with his ‘no mercy’ mentality. His fierce competitiveness and extreme hunger for more success made him an unstoppable force.
Combined with his physical strength and size, there are only a handful of players in league history who could stop Shaq.
He was so abnormally strong that he once toppled the entire scoreboard in a game against the Nets. But strength wasn’t the only element to his game. What made him so good was the precision with which he used his large size to dominate the paint.
Inside the painting, he was the general and no one could stop him. However, O’Neal, after a career as a 7-footer, claimed that he was never that tall.
Shaquille O’Neal admits he wasn’t 7’1″
Shaquille O’Neal’s stated height is 7’1″. The giant spent the entirety of his career listed at the same height. However, recently, he revealed the opposite.
Giannis Antetokounmpo, after meeting Diesel, claimed that he is taller. Listed at 6’11”, Greek Freak’s comments were not taken seriously.
But Shaquille O’Neal verified Giannis’ statement while on TNT the great podcast. In it, Shaq confessed that he is not 7 feet tall and never was.
Shaq on Giannis: “It’s nice up there.
First of all, I’m not 7’1″. I’m 6’11”. I just played like I was 7’1″. And 7ft 1 just sounded like, you know, like that, you know.”
So it looks like Shaq has been hiding, if not lying, about his height the whole time.
The 3-time Finals MVP may not be a 7-foot giant. But he is arguably one of the biggest investors among retired NBA stars.
One of those investments of his may well be the reason Ime Udoka got caught. Shaq, who invested in Ring Camera, was sure of the possibility of changing the life of the product.
Turns out he was right. Ime Udoka, who is the head coach of Boston, was caught by her partner’s husband through the doorbell camera. He heard his and Ime’s wife talking and realized what was going on.
The Boston Celtics head coach is currently serving a one-season suspension. It is also very likely that you will be fired from the job altogether.
